Expand description
ide crate provides “ide-centric” APIs for the rust-analyzer. That is, it generally operates with files and text ranges, and returns results as Strings, suitable for displaying to the human.
What powers this API are the RootDatabase
struct, which defines a salsa
database, and the hir
crate, where majority of the analysis happens.
However, IDE specific bits of the analysis (most notably completion) happen
in this crate.
Structs
Analysis is a snapshot of a world state at a moment in time. It is the main
entry point for asking semantic information about the world. When the world
state is advanced using
AnalysisHost::apply_change
method, all existing
Analysis
are canceled (most method return Err(Canceled)
).AnalysisHost
stores the current state of the world.Unique identifier of the assist, should not be shown to the user
directly.
A panic payload indicating that a salsa revision was cancelled.
Encapsulate a bunch of raw
.set
calls on the database.CompletionItem
describes a single completion variant in the editor pop-up.
It is basically a POD with various properties. To construct a
CompletionItem
, use new
method and the Builder
struct.CrateGraph
is a bit of information which turns a set of text files into a
number of Rust crates.Holds documentation

InsertDelete
– a single “atomic” change to textA type to specify UI label, like an entry in the list of assists. Enforces
proper casing:
NavigationTarget
represents an element in the editor’s UI which you can
click on to navigate to a particular piece of code.We’re indexing many crates.
Info associated with a text range.
Generally,
search_scope
returns files that might contain references for the element.
For pub(crate)
things it’s a crate, for pub
things it’s a crate and dependant crates.
In some cases, the location of the references is known to within a TextRange
,
e.g. for things like local variables.Primary API to get semantic information, like types, from syntax trees.
Contains information about an item signature as seen from a use site.
Hold the
AssistId
data of a certain assist to resolve.
The original id object cannot be used due to a 'static
lifetime
and the requirement to construct this struct dynamically during the resolve handling.A user supplied snippet.
Files are grouped into source roots. A source root is a directory on the
file systems which is watched for changes. Typically it corresponds to a
Rust crate. Source roots might be nested: in this case, a file belongs to
the nearest enclosing source root. Paths to files are always relative to a
source root, and the analyzer does not know the root path of the source root at
all. So, a file from one source root can’t refer to a file in another source
root by path.
A static representation of fully analyzed source code.
A measure of text length. Also, equivalently, an index into text.
Enums
A way to control how many asssist to resolve during the assist resolution.
When an assist is resolved, its edits are calculated that might be costly to always do by default.
The type of the completion item.
A snippet scope describing where a snippet may apply to.
These may differ slightly in meaning depending on the snippet trigger.
